AMS Technologies Optical Technologies Optical Adhesives for glass, metal, ceramics and plastics Gluing is an essential technological process in many industrial technologies. The state-of-the-art adhesives are especially designed to meet the wide range of applications, while highly specialized. They are simplifying bonding processes, guaranteeing high processing speed combined with high reliability. They are used for bonding of optical components where the adhesive is index matched to the components which has to be glued together. Special glues are developed to fi x fi ber in v-grooves. The refractive index is precisely controlled and can vary from low to high realizing a perfect optical match of materials. Another group of adhesives is designed for sealing of optical components. To improve long-term reliability in mechanical protection and moisture prevention, optical devices are housed in protective cases of metal, plastic, etc. The reliability, especially in moisture resistance, of optical parts is greatly infl uenced by the characteristics of the sealant used for the openings and case junctions of the protective cases in the devices. Curing conditions can be different, using either heat or UV light to reach the maximum on bonding power. All adhesives shown in this brochure provide fast cure strong bonds to glass, metal, ceramics and plastics low shrinkage low stress AMS Technologies is distributing the products of two optical adhesives suppliers NORLAND and NTT-AT, covering with their portfolio most of the applications.

Adhesive Injection Systems for Ferrules The Shotmaster is an automated solution for dispensing adhesives into ferrules of fiberoptic connectors. The robot arm allows for precise positioning of the syringe needle in relation to the ferrule hence avoiding later failure of connectors due to glue misplacement. The integrated dispense system corrects for the glue changing its viscosity over time hence making sure always same volume is injected in the ferrule. The Shotmaser is the ideal solution for todays high volume high quality fiber optic connector assembly lines. This robot is equipped with a high precision pneumatic dispenser that accurately corrects for fluctuations in the dose volume caused by changes in viscosity, such as occur with twopart resin material. Streamline the injection operation Compatible with large variety of ferrule Improve workability Stabilizing adhesive spread Temperature control by peltiert device Stabilizing of quality Injection step ML-808FX: High precision dispenser flexible with viscosity change Stable dispensing of two-liquid type cure adhesive With the <auto increment function>, dispensing set conditions automatically switches step-by-step. With the <auto slope function>, the channel is set automatically just by inputting the start and end dispensing conditions. Variable line width at a constant drawing speed. Ideal for automation lines and centralized control from host computer because the RS232C communication function is provided. Centrifugal bubble eliminator for syringes This is bubble eliminator for removing bubbles that are generated when filling material into syringes by using centrifugal force. Simple operation: Put a liquired-filled syringes in the machine and press the switch. Two models are avalable according to the syringe size.
